Better with MAF disconnected points to duff MAF. Second Bosch MAF better points to same conclusion. Fitting Pierburgh worse - duff Pierburgh? You need more info re. the Pierburgh swap. Synergy does improve failing Bosch MAF so may help and does compensate for old Pieburgh MAF. There have been...

Hi Gary, Nothing on fleabay at mo. There were a few of the early type around when I was looking - mine is the later type above the dash dials. (went to a dealer :() Found these - Land Rover Discovery CRUISE CONTROL Switch & Brkt - NEW | eBay - they are disco paddles. (seem to remember my Rover...

May be worth trying it with the MAF disconnected and posting back as a common reference point. You will then have a default setting reference. The original Maff reference. The second Maf (better?) reference and the Pierburgh reference. Them with some experience on this forum may then be able to...

Hi Gary, No need to take the air bag off yet. Take the cowel covers off around the steering column under the wheel and check if all of the connector holes in the rotary coupler have wires in them. If there are no spare holes then the wiring from the coupler is in place. :):) The paddles for the...

Hi Gary, Don't worry about AMP that's the name of the connector manufacturer. There are two possibilities for the plug you found - it's either the CC ECU or possibly the CD multichanger? Check out the RAVE for the wire colours & number of wires. CCT = shorthand for circuit usually describes...

And even the shell goes better with a dose of Millers. At around a £1 a tank full its a no brainer against the cost of injector problems. :):)

Hi Gary, The main loom splits under the radio console (two large multiway connectors), so you may have the wiring for the top end - master switch wiring - looking ok ?? :scratching_chin: Check out if the voltages are present at the unused switch socket (CO749) - you should find an instrument...

Hi, Why did you need to change the MAF? What were the original symptoms? How does it run with the MAF disconnected? Post up some more info and I am sure the learned ones on here will share their wisdom.

Hi Gary, I went the aftermarket route on my 06' TD4 Manual as it's a no-go on the manuals from LR (not offered as an option). You will find a lot of useful info in this thread - http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/freelander-cruise-control-help-needed-please-41525.html The TD4 only had CC offered...

Hi Mark, Done the other side - fitted CC paddles from a Rover 400. (had the same problem finding originals - nearly a year later before a set came up - all done by then.) It worked like this; Switches and cabling from rover is identical, just plugs in under air bag :) Switch cover that fits...

Angeloc - got the Palmer ScanXL Elmscan V2.00 (US stuff) on my laptop, it's a good system but it don't read the FL except the general codes. :confused: Their web forum has been saying they're looking into a bolt on for the LR/Jaguar range but that was over a year ago and no sign yet. Reads lots...

Like OP says - there are plenty of interfaces on ebay that will connect the socket in the car to the pc with varying degrees of sucess. The trick is getting the PC to talk to the ECU's in the car to retreive the information. The LR range has to allow 'basic' (emissions based) information to be...

Wiv Angeloc - if disconnecting the MAF don't make it run worse (using ECU defaults instead of real data) then the MAF's well past it's best. Try another one or replace? Another recent thread re. hunting suggests injector seals? Have you tried running injector cleaner thro'?

WOW Hippo - post #71 - Bonnet Bras !!!! :eek::eek: Them tratter boys seems into some wierd s**t? ;);)

Hi Bear, To pick up on Wolfie and Marks point re. the ABS unit - this controls all of the brakes via the pump and valve assembly inside controlled by the ABS ECU. IF you have pushed back the pistons without opening the bleed to vent the fluid you MAY have pushed crap back into the ABS unit...

Fink you're on the Monet James. Sounds like a helical gear meshing type noise. Remember me Mk1 Rangey and Deepender four speed boxes had that sound several times over throughout the rev range. Always traces back to the helical cut gears in low-range or transfer box. You may notice a different...

The ebay add says it is an M47 BMW lump so it is the same family as TD4 Freelander. As to it's suitability for a direct transplant using all of your existing FL ancilliaries - I don't know. It is the right base lump tho' - depends upon how much swapping of the parts, brackets, mountings etc...

If it all just dropped into place and sat level then you was ok. If you needed to press it down to get the top on to screw it down then it may not have gone in straight and may need an adjustment. I used the whole new BMW assembly >18 months ago - mine only dropped down about 3/4 of the way in...

Hi James, Fink's we're on the same w/length. Re-using diff spacer or overtightening will give bad bearing adjustment or cause premature bearing wear > hence sloppy mesh. Overtightening/re-tightening IRD nut may have squashed plastic spacer or caused bearing wear (assuming it's a taper?) >...

Fink I found the cutting problem and posted pic's etc into Ming's original fred. There is a small vertical rib inside the valve housing on some TD4's that does not line up with the small cut out in the web of the venturi plate of the BMW part. There is not a lot of clearance around the web when...
